So I was wondering if I install Koreader, could I still look up directly at the dictionary and use its search function? Does converting it to epub format work just fine? If I can convert it to epub, can I set it as a default dictionary?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

If by 'kindle format' you mean mobi, Kobo does actually support this format. (maybe not if there's drm involved, but there are ways around that). However, I'm not sure how well it is supported (don't have any .mobi books loaded at the moment)
I think it's worth trying, you can always arrange a conversion to epub to happen if there's a problem. Probably enough of us willing to do the conversion for you
